UNDRIP-United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

On August 9, the world will celebrate World Indigenous people.A programme which is supported by the United Nation.

Indigenous-  originating in and characteristic of a particular region or country; native (often followed by to ):

According to the JAOS (Indigenous peoples network Malaysia) commitee members, in Sabah, there are around 80 ethnics which considered as indigenous, which include Kadazan, Dusun, Murut, Rungus, Bajau, Kadayan, Suluk (and not to forget the mixed marriage of Sino-natives)....but not malay, chinese, Indian and BUGIS. 

Not to be racist here, but that is the fact. 

Well, it is good to be recognized as the original people of this land, however, the invaders have sort of jeopardising their human rights particularly on land issue. 

In fact, the land that they have inhabited for so long are their valuable sources for life continuity.

Having exploited for many years, they are now know their rights and ready to fight together with other NGOs, include SUHAKAM and other activists.

P/s: Since I am a Kadazan, yeah, I should celebrate the day, too. 


I would like to share the JOAS video on the indigenous people.

CICA-Care and Hiruscar gel.

Image
The Cica care, do not really know how to pronounce it, cost me about RM113.50 for the size of 3cm x 12cm. That size can actually be cut into half, to fully cover my raised 12-year-old reddish keloid car. Pardon me for the ugly creature...which most of the time will scare children away, and make adults have second look of the gigantic 'paramesium'. The silicon and sticky strip can actually last about 2-4 weeks, so mathematically for 2 months, I only spend RM100++ for my treatment, which is a lot cheaper than doing laser/removal surgery. This is how it adheres to my skin, I really don't have to worry it will fall out as I do my work, or even during exercise...(except swimming). Occasionally, I will have strong urge to scratch my itchy patched keloid during sleeping time, because of what the Cica care is doing-depressing the scar. After about two weeks usage, the edge (the sides where I use to remove) becomes like above, is an indicator that it

Review on Qdees school.

Image
This post is merely on personal view of the Qdees kindergarten which I enroll my daughter in this year. The principal has recently posted in parents-teacher Whatsapp group that the franchise has been awarded SME Brand Excellence Award in Best Global Franchise Model 2016 by SME Malaysia. Well,the excellence award obviously meant for business specifically the people who want to make money from early learning institutions...the information does not really relay the significance for parents whose main concern is their children's well-being at the school.  Back to my parenting point of view, the reason I chose the school is I believe with certain standards to comply, I hope that my daughter will be taken good care of while I go to work. In short, no abuse. Image grabbed from Qdees website I paid over thousand include the monthly RM450 during registration in Dec 2016. The payment also include two (ugly) grey color uniform (with not-so-good)cloth quality, a set of

Groupon-Tomoko Hair Salon.

Tomoko Hair Lot 112, Ground Floor, Megalong Shopping Mall, Jalan Taipakkung Donggongon, Penampang, , 89500, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 1 Visit Professional Cut+L'Oreal Hair Treatment+Wash +Blow+Personal Image Consultancy Service. Voucher "so called" valued for RM135 which I paid for RM18. ************************************************* Today I paid a visit to the saloon at Megamall. As I had made the reservation earlier, I was quite surprised when they asked what I would like to do with my hair. And I was asked for three times as if they don't even know the sevices they featured in Groupon. The saloon was quite small and crowded, but I believe that shouldn't be the reason they are slacking in their service. While I was sitting and waiting for my turn to have those services, a man turned out of blue that I should cut my hair like ****, I couldn't recall what he was trying to tell me cos he was just talking without me getting ready to his comments.
